I have noticed that people often move from the place where they are reading their Farz namaaz to another place in the mosque to read their sunnat and nafl salaah. Is there some benefits in doing this?

Answer
It is Mustahabb (preferable) to break up the Sufoof (rows) and spread out after the Fardh Salaat so that a person entering does not fall into doubt regarding the Jamaat's completion.
Concerning a Munfarid (person who performed his Fardh without Jamaat), it will be better for him to shift to another place for his Sunnat and Nafl Salaats as well. (Fataawa Darul Uloom vol.1 pg.243; Darul Ishaat)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
